it is embarrasing to be an Indonesian!
do you really need to use the speaker phone feature?
can’t you ask for an excuse to others to take the phone call?
can’t you take the phone call somewhere else?
mmmm…can’t you switch it off for an hour?
i wonder how the world will be like if you switch off your mobile phone for an hour
yesterday, i was in a meeting, 3 foreigners and 2 indonesian. my of my, i was really embarrased yesterday when this indonesian guy kept answering phone calls during the meeting who was supposedly to be a very important and critical meeting. and gosh, he used the speaker phone feature.
halloooo, yes we know you have those smart expensive mobile phone, and yes we know that you are a very important person, and yes we know that you have great voice *not quite* and yes we know you have good command of English *not quite* damn, i was so embarrased then.
man, can you at least learn the rules for being a participant in a meeting? use your common sense at least! all those three foreigners kept looking to each other and i was left in despair, embarrased to be an indonesian. hell no, not all of us is like that! gosh, damn you man! be indonesian ambassador in the meeting! give the real meaning for the word polite we are known for! *sigh*
